sooo what delusions are the safest to use?
Safest to most dangerous delusions! By @empraize
Geo delusions are the least dangerous, at the very least they can supplement different minerals to your body, at the very worst it can contaminate your blood with other toxic metals and too many minerals can lead to heavy metal poisoning which leads to organ damage, behavioural changes, memory problems and thinking problems and can ultimately bring up the risk of Alzheimer's disease and the development of dementia. The relative harm depends on the severity of heavy metal poisoning, if it's smaller amounts of heavy metal exposure it won't do much, however too much can cause sudden death.
It can actually be beneficial to have a bit more oxygen in your body, however this can have adverse effects if there's too much oxygen in the body. It can lead to oxygen poisoning, the symptoms of it is trouble breathing (Ironic huh?), coughing and even death when there's too much oxygen in the body. Since too much oxygen can damage lung cells, it wouldn't be a stretch to say you suffocated from having too much oxygen in your blood because your blood's ability to carry oxygen is not as high at the concentration of oxygen in the body. It's common for first time Anemo delusion users to develop severe oxygen poisoning and die due to them not knowing how to control their elemental powers.
Dendro delusions don't cause much harm to the user if they're using plants that are not inherently toxic. Dendro delusions work on being able to grow plants, meaning the life force is consumed in the process and the seeds of the plants being grown are developed in one's body and is supplied nutrients by the blood stream if there are not already existing seeds or plants the user wishes to help grow. So, if Dendro delusions are used to grow toxic plants, the toxicity will flow throught the blood and make the blood toxic. This can cause problems like fast coagulation of the blood when there's no wounds, making blood clots that can lead to heart attacks or seizures. The poison can also straight up kill the dendro delusion user.
Hydro delusion users have to be careful since not having enough control can kill you. Using the Hydro delusion too often can cause water intoxication and this makes it so the sodium concentration in your blood is lower than the concentration of water. This means your blood cells will start to swell and become turgent, this sudden influx of water in the body within such short moments can kill you, dying by too much water is rather rare, however for Hydro delusion users it's a constant worry since it's possible at anytime one must use their hydro vision. However not using the Hydro delusion will cause the water in the body to dry up and cells will shrivel, this will cause dehydration and can also kill the delusion user since the Hydro delusion uses the water in users and amplifies it by taking hydrogen and oxygen in the air as well as evaporated water molecules. So, Hydro delusion users must constantly use their delusions, but not too much or not too little, there must be a balance or there will be a risk of death.
Pyro delusion users have to constantly check their body temperature since too high body temperatures can lead to the killing of brain cells and can also lead to the cells in the body to not function properly due to being at a temperature it is not meant to work in. There are also heat strokes and dehydration as well, and dehydration kills you in 20 minutes. The biggest problem is that a pyro delusion user are literally allowing flames to rotate throughout their body which causes permanent high body temperatures. This keeps them at a constant risk of death and makes them have the constant need to cool down. (Technically really bad hyperthermia)
Cryo delusion users have to also constantly check their body temperature. Essentially cryo delusions users have become cold blooded animals and must go to heated areas to be able to warm up their bodies. Hypothermia kills people faster than hyperthermia, since hypothermia can kill within 10-15 minutes. This can cause problems in battle since cryo delusion users can sometimes become disoriented and not seek medical attention for their lowering body temperatures since their brain does not register that they are in life threatening danger. It limits the user's ability to think and sometimes move. Cryo delusion users have the chance of suddenly lying down and sleeping which will lead to their death since they are not moving and thus cannot generate heat. faster than hyperthermia, since hypothermia can kill within 10-15 minutes.

The most dangerous of the Delusions. It isn't hard to say that sudden death is an extremely high risk when using an electro delusion since just using it can cause the paralysis of part of the brain that controls breathing, paralysis of the heart or causes the heart muscles to rapidly twitch and beat too fast which all of these leads to death very fast.
